Typical backwards way to look at it. It's not because that's where they want to be, it's because that's where the jobs are. If you're looking to be in technology, are you going to be the location where there are thousands of potential jobs, or the location with dozens of potential jobs? I know plenty of people who don't like "the big city", but have to live there in order to have decent employment potential.

Where the problem comes in is that it's a self-reinforcing cycle. People live in cities because that's where the jobs are - so if you're an employer, where are you going to go? The city, of course, because that's where the potential employees are.
